The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1453 - 701: Monarch’s Ascension

Afterward, Rod promised Megan that if there was ever a need for any resources, she could come to him.

But Calier must firmly adhere to his promise, recruiting members in an open and voluntary manner while also further optimizing its technical methods, ideally to the point of almost no side effects.

Megan naturally agreed wholeheartedly and presented Rod with the Supreme Honor Badge printed with "Calier," announcing that Calier’s voice of non-humans would be completely open to him at any time, and its secret task force would fully accept his orders.

Finally, before leaving, Megan requested his support within the upper echelons of Trolian.

Especially the Supreme Council, the Elder Council had been displeased with him for a long time.

Rod did not explicitly agree; although he had considerable influence within the Elder Council, he was unwilling to abuse this power—Calier must achieve its due accomplishments.

Megan assured Rod with his life and honor that Calier would play an indispensable role in the upcoming Ancient God Battle.

This promise cheered Rod up a bit.

After all, with every addition of strong combat power, Trolian’s odds of winning increased slightly.

——

The journey to Calier had been a great shock to Rod, but he also realized that Calier’s secret task force had a long way to go to become an independent force.

The most important thing at present was the king’s ascension.

Upon returning to the Royal City, Rod immediately sought out Bossivale.

At this time, the Sun Knight Kai had already returned to the underground chapel.

Bossivale informed him that the Demon Dragon’s Heart had bestowed all its life power upon Kai, halting his Spiritual Energy growth and causing a tendency for internal soul consumption.

Thus, he immediately administered a Pure Star Source Potion to him.

This potion completely revitalized Kai’s soul, and his Spiritual Energy evolution began once more, becoming even more violent than before, absorbing Spiritual Energy at an unimaginable speed, creating a void around him.

To prevent disrupting the Spiritual Energy balance of the entire Royal City and to avoid overly rapid Spiritual Energy growth damaging the soul, the Sun Knight Kai returned to the underground chapel, using the Silver Ring’s seal to suppress his soul’s growth rate, keeping it within a controllable range.

Nonetheless, his Spiritual Energy growth rate remained incredibly high.

Bossivale estimated that if uninterrupted Pure Star Source Potions could be provided for another month, along with the Sun Stone most crucial to the Sun Characteristic, Kai could enter the ranks of a powerful monarch.

Upon hearing this, Rod suddenly remembered his Light Stone.

He recalled that the Light Stone was the purest, most powerful Sun Stone, offering special and immense enhancement to all Light Domain characteristics.

Thus, he pulled out a Light Stone and asked, "Lord Bossivale, does this help?"

No answer.

Rod raised his head in surprise to see Bossivale with his mouth agape, his whole face nearly splitting apart.

"Is this... is this a Light Stone?"

"Yes."

"Where did you get it?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Uh, perhaps in the Dragon Tomb, it’s the legacy of a remarkable predecessor."

Bossivale took the Light Stone in his hands, his eyes almost glued to it.

"Indeed, the purest light, a Light Stone without any imperfections, I simply can’t believe it—I can still see its existence nowadays."

"Of the Three Elements most crucial to humans—Pure Star Source, Absolute Pure Star Marrow, and the Light Stone—it is also the rarest and hardest to obtain Element."

"Not only can it create unparalleled Light Potions, but it also has significant enhancement effects on Bright Light Attribute, Light Power Attribute, and Sun Characteristic. With it, the Sun Knight will reach a higher realm, perhaps even a great monarch or True King."

Rod chuckled, "Then quickly use it; I can’t wait to see a new human strong figure emerge."

Bossivale placed the Light Stone into a storage bag with a reverent gesture, saying solemnly, "Rest assured, Lord Rod, I will personally take care of it."

Rod then asked, "How is the Archbishop?"

It’s been a long time since Horus inherited the Holy King’s residual soul body, yet there’s been no news.

This indicates the situation isn’t good.

Bossivale’s expression darkened: "There’s a problem; the residual soul of the Holy King is too powerful—even though there’s only one bit left, its positional power far exceeds the limits we imagined, and Horus is in some trouble now."

Rod’s heart sank, "Then, what can be done to help him?"

Bossivale subtly shook his head.

"Lord Rod, the current problem is that Horus’s main body isn’t strong enough to receive these powers. The Holy King made a special alteration to his residual soul before dying—otherwise, no one could do it. Horus’s compatibility with the residual soul is high, but it still requires a long time to absorb."

"How long?"

"Three to five years."

Rod’s brow furrowed deeply:

"That long? Then he definitely won’t make it for the True King Ceremony and Ancient God Battle—isn’t there any way to shorten the time?"

Bossivale sighed:

"The Light Stone can, but there’s only one, and the Sun Knight’s ascension is paramount. Kai has a significant chance of being our second True King."

Rod widened his eyes; he hadn’t expected the Sun Knight to be rated so highly, no wonder Bossivale was so excited at the time.
